Saving over 5 hours a week for recruiters with stronger collaboration

Hire by Google, enables Trader Interactive to grow the company
while saving the recruiting team time.

Headquartered in Norfolk, VA, Trader Interactive provides
advertising and digital services to the powersports, recreational
vehicle, commercial truck and equipment industries. Trader had more
than 300 employees at the end of 2017, and is planning to add
another 65 in 2018.

Hiring the right people is pivotal to the
company’s success but the small recruiting team found itself
stretched because the tools they were using could not keep up. The
applicant tracking system (ATS) in place felt clunky and time
consuming, and as a result recruiters were the only people at the
company who could figure out how to use it.

Instead of sourcing
candidates and building relationships with them, the recruiters were
spending a ton of time tracking down hiring managers and
interviewers to get feedback on candidates, and even more time
compiling that feedback.

The top impact of Hire on our recruiting process is being able to
collaborate with hiring managers and get a response
from them quickly

Things changed when they implemented Hire by Google. “The top impact
of Hire on our recruiting process is being able to collaborate with
hiring magners and get a response from them quickly” says Courtney
Perry, Senior Recruiter at Trader Interactive.

“As a result, we have
been able to get back to candidates a lot faster which is critical
for winning talent. Hire is very user friendly, and hiring managers
have been willingly undertaking some tasks that only recruiters used
to do - such as rejecting or moving candidates forward in the hiring
process and using email templates to communicate with candidates.
The recruiters and hiring managers are also now able to discuss a
candidate in the system, so there is a clear record of feedback side
by side with any communication they’ve had with a candidate.”

The scheduling capability in Hire is another time saving favorite
for the Trade Interactive team of recruiters. The Google Calendar
integration has made it “really easy to set up interviews,” Courtney
says. So now the team can focus on the candidates not the process.
Hire is saving Courtney at least an hour a day that she used to have
to spend on administrative and repetitive tasks.
